Customer Question

I have a Kohler...

I have a Kohler CH730 gas engine. It only has 60 hours on it. It will not start and have discovered that when I take the fuel line off, there is no fuel in the line. I have cleared the supply line from the fuel pump to the tank, but no results.

Mechanic's Assistant: Do you have fuel in the tank? If so, is the shut-off valve open and the fuel clean?

Where is the shut off valve?

Mechanic's Assistant: Do you plan on doing the work yourself?

Yes

Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else we should know to help you best?

Engine runs fine when I put a small amount of fuel directly into carburator.

Experience: I have over 15 years of mechanical and electrical experience.

Hello my name is ***** ***** welcome to just answers! I will be assisting you with all of your vehicle questions today. Give me one moment while I review your question and come back with a answer. Please be aware I do not know your skill level or abilities so I will be asking a lot of questions and in a lot of cases we will respond to each other quite a lot before we find a solution. As far as phone calls are concerned that is the system prompting you, not me, and they do cost more money, I prefer text but in some cases a phone call is required. If I don’t answer right away or quickly in conversation I am helping another customer or have stepped out for a moment and will respond as soon as I can. Ok lets get started!

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.
